Cation transport: an example of structural based selectivity.

Abstract:

:Through the high-resolution structure of the gramicidin A channel in lamellar phase lipids and the characterization of specific ion peptide interactions, fundamental principles for ion channel selectivity and conductance efficiency are illustrated with atomic resolution detail. Delocalized cation binding in the first turn of the helix reduces the unfavorable entropy contribution upon binding. Stepwise dehydration minimizes the energy barrier for cation entry and provides valence selectivity in this channel. Three or more water molecules in the monovalent cation binding site result in flexibility in the cation solvation environment causing weak cation size selectivity. Lack of cation induced structural modification avoids the formation of a significant energy barrier, thus permitting efficient cation transport.

  • Effect of pseudorepeat rearrangement on alpha-synuclein misfolding, vesicle binding, and micelle binding.

    abstract::The pathological and physiological hallmarks of the protein alpha-synuclein (aS) are its misfolding into cytotoxic aggregates and its binding to synaptic vesicles, respectively. Both events are mediated by seven 11-residue amphiphilic pseudorepeats and, most generally, involve a transition from intrinsically unstructu...
